摘要:

将磁通量输送到坍缩的分子云外部是恒星形成的必要步骤。虽然双极扩散通常被认为是一个关键的机制,最近有人认为,它可能是不够有效。本文讨论了MHD湍流在恒星形成流中磁通量输运中的作用。特别是,在湍流中的快速磁重联理论的最新进展的基础上,我们将展示三维数值模拟的结果,表明湍流重联引起的磁场的扩散可以是一个非常有效的机制,特别是在云坍缩和恒星形成的早期阶段。最后,我们还将简要讨论在不同的天体物理环境中的连续性恒星形成的联系和反馈:从星系到星系团的规模。

英文摘要:

The transport of magnetic flux to outside of collapsing molecular clouds is a required step to allow the formation of stars. Although ambipolar diffusion is often regarded as a key mechanism for that, it has been recently argued that it may not be efficient enough. In this review, we discuss the role that MHD turbulence plays in the transport of magnetic flux in star forming flows. In particular, based on recent advances in the theory of fast magnetic reconnection in turbulent flows, we will show results of three-dimensional numerical simulations that indicate that the diffusion of magnetic field induced by turbulent reconnection can be a very efficient mechanism, especially in the early stages of cloud collapse and star formation. To conclude, we will also briefly discuss the turbulence-star formation connection and feedback in different astrophysical environments: from galactic to cluster of galaxy scales.
